J15 hoses

Can someone give me a clue what cooling hoses to order up for front and back when a Ford Puma/Sigma 1.7 is fitted?

* Yes I intend to fit a heater but I doubt that affects things much as I am locating it at the back and taking it off the points provided already (I hope).

Hi
The heater bypass i used a 135 near the coil a 90 at the other end with a flexi one in the middle.
Main radiator 90 pointed down across g/box 45 pointing up flexi in middle.
Return 2 135s taken it down to a small straight.
My pipe bending was crap as well which has probably meant more degrees of angle in it
The others are so complex im sure every builder has a different combination !
If i built again it would be vulcoflex for all of them ! doesnt look as nice but less potential failure points ie connections this is the way i did the front in frustration at the amount of connectors and clips involved.
At the moment no leaks but if it plays me up vulcoflex will be added in
If you go silicon it costs a fortune
